Back to business - Citlali's comeback in La Plata
Citlali lost a cutting table and overlocker to a fire in the building and needs $1,100 to reopen a sewing studio and support the family.

For nine years I have run a sewing studio in La Plata. In May, a fire in the building took a cutting table and overlocker. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Wednesday, and I employed 1 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 12 weeks.
This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment.
Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item.
Once I'm back on my feet I plan to hire back the people I had to let go.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Replacing a cutting table and overlocker: $690
• Initial stock: fabric: $140
• Shop repairs and licensing: $175
• Working capital for the first month: $95
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family, Citlali. Hope you get there. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
